Brexit

Why would they bend over backwards to give us a good deal, John;  we’re leaving them.  See my analogy about Sky - if you told them you were leaving them, would you expect them to offer you their movie channels for nothing, and a say in their future content?

But Sky is run by a complete bunch of are5oles...................... Oh, wait a minute...................

The trouble is that we, the UK, the Cabinet, the government, the Conservative Party, and parliament all can't agree on what we do want.

Meanwhile, on 29th March, if there is no deal, more 750 International treaties and agreements that allow this country to function cease to be. These agreement cover everything from transportation of nuclear materials, to air and sea travel, customs and trade agreements. Our response? Do absolutely nothing other than turn the M26 into a lorry park.

I think the Highways Agency should be congratulated for doing something proactive for a change.

Because they export 53 % to us ?. What happens to that if there is no deal.

[LindseyMitchell]

Yes they do, and will continue to do so, except that we’ll have to charge import tariffs.  40% of our food comes from Europe, and I will be paying a lot more for my Camembert, wine, pasta, chorizo, Danish bacon, Irish pork, Belgian chocolate.
Still, I will be able to buy American chlorine soaked chicken, hormone fed beef and other horrors of their ‘cuisine’.

53% of our imports might come from the EU, but that trade represents just 8% of total EU27 exports.

Are you happy about great swathes of Kent becoming in effect a lorry park.  Our friends who live there aren’t.

I forgot to mention drugs before, which will have to spend hours in said park, including Dutch insulin and French isotopes for cancer treatment.

What should the UK do if the deal offered by the EU is crazy ?
